Another Windy Weekend 2nd/3rd November

[Justin]

Missed the 'Storm' last weekend (working ) so keen to get out this weekend. Current forecast looking good. Thinking Newton Saturday, Portland for some Speed Sunday.
Anyone else have any plans?

[Sue]

I am also eyeing up Portland for Sunday - it's time we made use of the club's GPS for a bit of a Nomad speed competition?

The tide is fairly low, but not mega low - nevertheless may need to watch out out for sandbars, and there will be tons of kitey things.

It's looking promising at the moment anyway .

Saturday, I'll miss - as I'm unlikely to cope with two full days on the row.

On a rugby trip to Devon and Cornwall this week end so can not make it. Although I should have more chance for a midweek sail from next week, although as the weather getting colder my motivation is starting to drop off.

[Matt]

Yes, looks very windy especially Sat afternoon into Sunday morning. I think there's a lot of uncertainty in the forecast still though so I'll consider options for a bit longer.

[Ian H]

Could be tempted.

Newton on Saturday perhaps a little bit more than my ability can handle looking at the forecast and I would not want to damage any of my expensive gear.

Sunday at Portland looking good at the moment although as Matt says forecast is changing. Hopefully we will have a chance of an unplanned speed event with a good turnout of Nomads.

[Adrian]

Will make a call in the morning but at present probably Hill Head tomorrow and Portland on Sunday although Newton or Aberavon is possible for tomorrow. Might even throw in a windsurfer and GPS for sunday

[Justin]

Will be bringing the club GPS to Portland for Sunday - the morning looking ideal for breaking those current Nomad speed records at the moment .

[Sue]

Given the forecast, I may be trying 'not' to go fast !

[Ian H]

Will be bringing my old 1993 vintage Tiga 268 if anyone wants a play.

Will any of the fast boys be there, Adrian, Brian and Ian L to give us mere mortals something to aim for.

Where are people going tomorrow and what time.

[Keith S]

I'm going to Axbridge on Saturday - sailing or not - so will see what the water situation is. Rumour has it that the water level has risen

May do Portland on Sunday as well. But a bit undecided at the moment.

[Matt]

Was thinking of Newton today but doesn't look windy at the moment and Southerly. Then could be very strong later as the front comes over.

[Sue]

.... and I've just discovered a flat tyre .... so depends if I can sort it out as to whether I can make it tomorrow!

Sue

[Loz]

We are heading to Portland for Sunday. Planning on getting there early to catch the best of the forecast wind. The club GPS is packed ready for those record breaking speeds

[Sue]

Still got car issues - sorted the tyre, and now have an oil leak! Ian H has kindly offered me a lift though - think he wants to make sure that he at least beats one person in the speed trials .

Am restricted to taking one board - so based on the forecasts I think it will need to be the Acid!

See you there.

[Matt]

I'll have some spare boards in the van Sue, but I expect they're all too big for you!
